7 Wave function optimization: why and how? Important for both VMC and DMC in order to reduce the systematic error reduce the statistical uncertainty
8 Wave function optimization: why and how? Important for both VMC and DMC in order to reduce the systematic error reduce the statistical uncertainty How to optimize? Until recently: minimization of the variance of the energy OK for the few Jastrow parameters but does not work well for the many CSF and orbital parameters Since recently: minimization of the energy (+ possibly a small fraction of variance) in order to optimize well all the parameters and because the energy is a better criterion
9 Wave function parametrization Jastrow parameters α, CSF coefficients c, basis exponents ζ: no difficulty orbital coefficients λ are redundant = bad parametrization
